For this discussion, respond to the following... An electron falls through a distance d in a uniform electric field of magnitude

E. Thereafter, the direction of the field is reversed (keeping its magnitude the same) and now a proton falls through the same distance. Compare, using quantitative reasoning, the time of fall in each case. Contrast this situation with that of objects falling freely under gravity. You will also need to post a response to at least two of your classmates' posts. Also, make sure that your response(s) are substantial and consist of at least 25 words.

The electron should experience a greater acceleration due to it's significantly smaller mass and should fall through distance "d" in a shorter amount of time.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The electron force can be expressed as F=qE. According to Newton's second law of motion force can be expressed as F=ma. This can be written as a=F/m. Substituting electric force expression for "F" in this equation, we get a=qE/m. This means acceleration is conversely proportional to mass and directly to electric field and charge. This means that proton having significantly larger mass than electron should experience smaller amount of acceleration and would take longer to fall at distance "d".

On the other hand, the electron would experience greater acceleration due to it's significantly smaller mass and would fall faster at distance "d", unlike the situation of proton.

Which scientist arranged the elements in order of increasing atomic number, rather than increasing atomic mass?
pentagon [3]

Answer:

Henry Moseley

Explanation:

Dmitry Mendeleef and Lothar Meyer proposed a periodic table based on the atomic mass.

They stated a periodic law expressed as "chemical properties of elements are a periodic function of their atomic weights".

But, Henry Moseley in 1900s re-stated periodic law by changing the basis of the law from atomic weight to atomic number.

The present periodic law is stated as "the properties of elements are a periodic function of their atomic number".

Calculate the volume in mL of a 0.708 M KOH solution containing 0.098 mol of solute
Olenka [21]
Molarity = mol/liter

0.708M = 0.098mol/L
Rearrange to find L:
0.098mol/0.708M = .138L

For every liter there is 1000 mL:
.138L • 1000mL =138mL KOH

in an experiment 3.425g of lead oxide was reduced to form 3.105g of lead the empirical formula of the lead oxide is?​
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

Pb3O4

Explanation:

According to this question, 3.425g of lead oxide was reduced to form 3.105g of lead in an experiment. Since lead oxide contains both lead (Pb) and oxygen (O) element,

Mass of lead oxide = 3.425g

Mass of lead = 3.105g

Mass of oxygen = (3.425g - 3.105g) = 0.320g

Next, we convert each mass value to mole by dividing by respective molar mass

Pb = 3.105g ÷ 207.2 = 0.0149mol

O = 0.320g ÷ 16 = 0.02mol

Next, we divide each mole value by the smallest (0.0149)

Pb = 0.0149mol ÷ 0.0149mol = 1

O = 0.02mol ÷ 0.0149mol = 1.342

Multiply each ratio value by 3 to get:

Pb = 1 × 3 = 3

O = 1.342 × 3 = 4.026

The whole number ratio, approximately, of Pb and O is 3:4, hence, their empirical formula is Pb3O4.
